Best way to Tap into Turn Signals for Indicators?
I need to tap into the left and right turn signals to wire in a separate set of indicators at the dash, with a +12v when the signals are flashing.
Are there any wires by the dash or gauge cluster that would be suitable for this, without having to tap all the way to the actual turn signal wiring?
I'm still trying to figure out how the wiring works in the connectors going to the gauge cluster.

It probably would be easier to just take it apart and start looking, but I figured I'd ask in case anyone knew exactly. I'm guessing the wiring to the turn signals is grouped into one of the main connectors on the back of the cluster.
Z-44 shows that the LH Turn Signal is a Green/Black wire and the RH Turn Signal is a Green/White wire.
They both connect to the Flasher Unit, which appears to be in the driverside footwell area in CPU No.2
So... I think that answers it. I'll locate the G/B and G/W wires off one of the cluster connectors and tap into that.
My question is, will the G/B and G/W wires at the instrument cluster end of the flasher unit be the same source as the actual turn signal wires at the bumper/other end of the flasher unit?

Under the dash near the foot pedals theres the indicator flasher relay i taped into that think its massive green box
Theres 2under there one is for power door locks
Cant remember the wire collours but if u turn the indicators on u can use a multimeter on it to check
